Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde
Fashola has stated he was not overwhelmed
running the affairs of three key ministries.
The minister stated this at the inaugural
“Buharimeter Town Hall Meeting,’’ organised by
the Centre for Democracy and Development
(CDD).
Fashola who was responding to questions from
audience at the town hall meeting, said that the
ministry was not bigger than Lagos State which
he successfully governed for eight years.
He said “what is different is that I am working
with a team I have not worked with before,’’
adding that he had to use a reasonable period of
time to study the terrain.
Fashola said he had a capable hand as minister of
state in the ministry, experienced permanent
secretary and reliable members of staff.
Speaking on the score card of the ministry in the
last one year, Fashola said that he adopted three
stages of “incremental, steady and uninterrupted
supply’’ in the power sector.
He said the energy mix to be adopted in realising
the three would be unveiled in a week’s time at
the meeting of National Council on Power.
He said the country attained 5,000 megawatts
electricity generation in February before the
height in attacks on gas pipelines and oil
infrastructure in the Niger Delta.
